Sleep through it. Wake up done.
If dental anxiety has kept you from getting treatment you need, IV sedation is the answer. You're awake enough to respond if the surgeon asks but you won't form memories of the procedure. Administered by a board-certified surgeon trained in all levels of anesthesia.

Same-day clarity. No surprises.
Every patient gets a written plan with 3D imaging before anything is scheduled. You will know what is happening and what it costs before you commit.
- Step 1
Pre-sedation evaluation
A medical history review and physical exam to make sure IV sedation is safe for you. We ask about medications, allergies, and any past anesthesia experiences.
- Step 2
IV placement
A small IV is placed in your arm or hand. This is the most uncomfortable part — and it takes about 10 seconds.
- Step 3
Sedation onset
Sedative medication takes effect in 60–90 seconds. You'll feel deeply relaxed. Your protective reflexes stay intact — you can breathe and respond to voice — but you won't form memories of the procedure.
- Step 4
Recovery + ride home
After the procedure you rest in our recovery area until you can walk steadily (typically 30–60 minutes). A driver takes you home. You will need to rest the remainder of the day and avoid driving for 24 hours.
A different kind of oral-surgery experience.
Trained at the level required to operate in a hospital. Delivered in a private, comfortable office.
Trained in All Levels of Anesthesia
Local, IV sedation, AND general anesthesia. The same range you get at a hospital, delivered in a private office.
Surgeon Administered
Many general dentists outsource sedation to a visiting anesthesiologist. Our oral surgeon both administers the sedation and performs the procedure — one person responsible from start to finish.
Anxiety-Friendly Office
We see patients who haven't been to a dentist in 20 years. Pre-sedation orals, blankets, headphones — whatever you need to be comfortable walking in.
Established 2010
Fifteen years of safe in-office sedation. No backlog of complications, no emergency transfers.
